A small firm on Market Street, in the middle of Chipping Norton, handling family law, conveyancing, wills and probate for the town and the villages around it. Founded in 2005 by Nova Bradley and Geoffrey Saul. Fixed fees, a free first conversation, and people who tend to stay with us across moves, marriages and generations.
Most of what a household needs from a solicitor across a lifetime: the family matters, the move, and the planning for later on. All handled in one small office on Market Street, by the people whose names are on the door.
Divorce, finances, children, living together
All areas of family law: relationship breakdown and divorce, dividing finances, arrangements for children, and cohabitation agreements for those living together. Nova is accredited by Resolution and a trained family mediator, so the first instinct is to settle rather than litigate.
Freehold, leasehold and unregistered land
Residential conveyancing across freehold, leasehold and unregistered property, for both sales and purchases. Geoffrey set up the department in 2005 and Sarah handles the day to day, from Cotswold cottages with no Land Registry title to new-build leaseholds.
Wills, powers of attorney, probate, inheritance tax
Wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate and estate administration, inheritance-tax planning, and advice on the legalities of care-home provision and fees. The later-life work is handled as one joined-up service, not five separate appointments.
Nova Bradley qualified as a solicitor in 1990 and built her name in family law, the finances and the arrangements for children that matter most when a relationship ends. She set up her own practice in Chipping Norton in 2002. In 2005 she and Geoffrey Saul founded Bradley Saul Solicitors, with Geoffrey setting up the conveyancing and probate departments he still leads.
We have stayed deliberately small. The person you speak to is the person doing the work, and a good deal of that work comes from people we acted for years ago, coming back for the next house, the next will, the next chapter.
“Excellent, friendly and professional service over more than twenty years of house purchases and sales.”
A Bradley Saul client, in a public review
Where a lot of firms reach for litigation, our family work starts from the opposite end. Nova has been a member of Resolution since 1990 and has held its accredited specialist status since 2000, and trained with the Family Mediators Association in 1995. In practice that means working towards a fair agreement you can both live with, and keeping court for the matters that genuinely need it.
A free first conversation costs nothing and usually saves money. Phone 01608 648 020 or email office@bradleysaul.co.uk.
Send a short message and we will come back to you, or phone the office for a faster answer. There is no charge for the first conversation, and no obligation to go further. We will tell you plainly whether we can help and what it is likely to cost.
We are at Market Chambers, 2 Market Street, on the short run between the market square and the Chequers. There is free parking directly outside the office (half hour only) and two-hour parking on the market square. If you cannot get in to see us, we can usually visit you at home.
For anything not here, phone the office on 01608 648 020 or email office@bradleysaul.co.uk.
Yes. We offer a free initial consultation so you can tell us what you need and we can tell you, plainly, how we would help and what it would cost. Phone 01608 648 020 or email office@bradleysaul.co.uk to arrange one.
We quote fixed fees for the services listed here, so you know the cost before you commit. For family work, where every matter is different, fees are set personally to your circumstances with flexible payment arrangements where they are needed.
Yes. If you are disabled or unable to come into the office, we can usually arrange to visit you at home in and around Chipping Norton. Mention it when you phone and we will sort out a time.

Usually not. Nova has been a member of Resolution since 1990, with accredited status since 2000, and a trained family mediator since 1995. The aim is a fair settlement reached constructively, with court kept as the last resort rather than the first.
